ENTRY 5: PARENTHOOD
The Role of a Parent
Written by Artist Sharra Myers Harvin
OBSERVING PARENTHOOD
Being a parent comes with so many ups and downs that it makes us feel as though we are on a never-ending rollercoaster. The feeling of being on an emotional rollercoaster is what is felt when it comes time to let go. Living this life in this world gives us plenty of unconscious ideologies that need to be dropped off, on the path to complete Spirit Consciousness. Our children are here to shake us out of our unconscious belief system that hinders us from our true Self. This emotional rollercoaster is our way of letting us know that it is time to let go of the old narratives, structures, and beliefs that are holding us back. These beliefs of the past have guided us to where we are supposed to be but need to be left behind because there is no place for it where we are going.
CHILDREN HAVE THE ANSWER
Children, when observed, provide us with a fast track to the truth. Our children are what is within us. They show us what is settled and unsettled inside our mental self. This is why when we yell or get frustrated with our children, we are really yelling at and getting frustrated with ourself. By seeing what is on the inside on the outside in a child that you are to love and nurture, is the whole point of being a parent. This is because the nurture we give our child is the nurture we must give to ourself. This is also why our children require so much attention because whatever is unsettled inside will not rest until it is nurtured with love and accepted.

Children’s out of control behavior which makes us feel as though we have lost control is an indicator that we need to let go of needing to control everything. When we let go, we realize that we no longer have to physically control everything because we are already in control because we created it. Everything in our life is already created to get us to where we want to be. We are only going through these experiences to gain the knowledge of the experience that gets us to where we created ourself to be. Since we have already received what we created, there is no reason to hold on to the control of every single experience. This is the case with every uncomfortable feeling while parenting. The more we let go of wanting to control everything and have confidence in what we created, the smoother the experience will be.

Why are we born with disabilities?
When a child is born with a so called disability, it is our duty as the guardian to observe without judgment of the experience that we created for ourself. We must observe only and not accept information given to us from the collective of doubt but to look within to find out why we created in this way. If we are the creators of everything in our life then only we know how to resolve and change the form of any disability by realizing that the so called disability is not a disability at all. When we can look at a situation through the eyes of God, all make sense and there is no more confusion or despair. Look within to see that there are no mistakes only the ability to see greater. In every so called disability is the ability to look further as God.

Everything is perfectly designed to give us what we need to get to the promised land which is heaven on earth. The children in our life that are reliant on us to be nurtured are perfectly designed as well. They each show us how to Love on the highest level, because they teach us how to love ourself. Seeing ourself in our child is not just about physicality or mannerisms, it is the connection of the growing mind in connection with Spirit. Whether our child is biologically ours or not is irrelevant, they all mirror their nurturer as it is their divine designed purpose. It is a fact that everyone we encounter is a reflection of and is connected to us but our child or children are the only ones here to be nurtured by us. For those of us whose path was not designed with children, this knowledge received by nurturing ourself in another will be received in other ways perfect for our path to resolution.

THE YEARNING
The yearning to have a child or something to take care of, is the yearning to take care of ourself. We often feel as though we have so much love to give but have no one to receive that love and return it. The love we are actually looking for is the love for self. And the love that we are looking to receive back is the love received from self. Loving ourself unconditionally is the greatest love there is because that love is the love of God as God. However that way comes, the emotional roller coaster will be experienced as an uncomfortable or unstable feeling to enable us to let go of all that keeps us from loving ourself unconditionally. We must let go of what we think and observe to feel what we Know. As we learn to observe everything we have created in our life as an experience to receive the gift of knowledge from, we will then walk as God. All will be made perfect in our life because all will be reflections of us as the embodiment of Love and acceptance.
